peer agreement (net): +2| 100 year wave vague centennale / vague centenaire Explanation: A hundred-year wave is a statistically projected water wave, the height of which, on average, is met or exceeded once in a hundred years for a given location. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2016-05-16 03:16:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A noter que l'expression "vague centenaire" est vue comme etant impropre par la communaute (puisqu'il ne s'agit pas d'une vague agee de 100 ans mais d'une vague qui se produit une fois tous les cent ans) mais se retrouve parfois dans des articles de vulgarisation scientifique.
